Jed Brophy is an Honorary Ambassador for the IMFF, where all films are shot with smartphone cameras, and has been a recurring judge in the short film competition. Episode 145 is a bit of a first bringing you a part of our in-person film festival with Jed's presentation.
Since 2020, Jed has been trying to make his way to our film festival in San Diego. Of course, we all know what happened in 2020 but Jed had been busy working on The Rings Of Power which premiered on Amazon Prime last year.
Jed shared his backstory on how he started acting and his beginnings working with Peter Jackson. He also spoke about mobile filmmaking.
I met Jed Brophy and Mark Hadlow in 2018 when Rich Vizor contacted me about their film, Blue Moon. Blue Moon was a feature film shot with an iPhone 7 in New Zealand.
Jed’s presentation was energetic, enthusiastic and truly inspiring. We’re grateful to Jed for making out this year and wish him the very best with all his projects.
Submissions for the 13th Edition begin June 19, 2023https://internationalmobilefilmfestival.com/mff/rules/

Levi Austin Morris won the Best Feature film Award for Paralysis at this year’s International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego, California. The entire film was shot with two iPhones.
Paralysis is a horror film of about an hour 47 or so minutes long. Levi and I discuss the intricate details that went into making the film and the reactions it received at the festival.
We discuss the impressive experience he and his team had during the festival. It’s a fun, energetic discussion on the unique energy felt by everyone during the festival. The intimacy between the filmmakers and the friendships formed. Mobile filmmaking is an opportunity to leave a legacy and we spoke about that. But we also touched on the rewarding experience felt by the attending filmmakers.
Some insights we share include the progress over the years, of making movies with phones.

It was September 11, 2001 and my experience that day sparked a vision of the future that lasted for years. Eight years later, from that vision, I launched a film festival where all the films only qualified if they were shot with a cell phone camera. It was before the iPhone 4 launched introducing me to smartphones.
You can read and listen to the original audio story with it’s full description:https://susybotello.substack.com/p/how-september-11th-created-my-journey#details
Tickets are now on sale but space is limited. Join us in San Diego, even if you’re not participating or a filmmaker. You may walk away inspired!https://internationalmobilefilmfestival.com/mff/

Our guest in episode 142 is Luis Fernandez who is an actor, filmmaker and live performer. His feature film, Desconocidas (Unknowns) is screening during San Diego’s International Mobile Film Festival in its 12th edition April 28-30.
Luis shares the story behind a filmmaking experience which is pretty mind-blowing. Filming during the pandemic was already challenging, but when each actor was in another country, and so were the live viewers of the final performance, that’s really quite a feat! Luis Fernandez, Mimi Lazo and Nina Rancel, will be in San Diego to present their film with a Q & A session.
Topics we discuss:
Filming in multiple apartments as though they are one
Directing remotely
The story of immigration in the film
Bringing their audience to the “theater” online
Luis Fernandez’ childhood dream to be an actor
SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking: The Voice of Mobile Film™ is for everyone who ever wanted to or is curious about making movies and videos using smartphones.
